Load Estimator (LOADEST): A FORTRAN Program for Estimating Constituent Loads in Streams and Rivers

TL;DR: A selection of photos from the 2016/17 USGS report on quantitative hazard assessments of earthquake-triggered landsliding and liquefaction at the USGS Deepwater Research Facility in California.
ReportDOI

One-Dimensional Transport with Inflow and Storage (OTIS): A Solute Transport Model for Streams and Rivers

TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-modelling framework for modeling Conservative Transport (OTIS) with real-time constraints and describes how the model evolved from a simple model to a model capable of discriminating between Conservative and Nonconservative Solutes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transport and cycling of iron and hydrogen peroxide in a freshwater stream: Influence of organic acids

TL;DR: In this paper, an in-stream injection of two dissolved organic acids (phthalic and aspartic acids) was performed in an acidic mountain stream to assess the effects of organic acids on Fe photoreduction and H2O2 cycling.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new metric for determining the importance of transient storage

TL;DR: In this paper, a new metric based on median reach travel time is proposed, which integrates the interaction between advective velocity and the transient storage parameters (storage zone area, storage zone exchange coefficient).
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of metal loads in watersheds affected by acid mine drainage by using tracer injection and synoptic sampling: Cement Creek, colorado, USA

TL;DR: In this article, the authors delineate hydrogeologic characteristics determining the transport of metals from the watershed to the stream in the watershed of Cement Creek, Colorado, and quantified spatially detailed load profiles.
